0% Dhoom . 100% Doom !!!!!

Riding a bike on our roads is defnitely not an easy task.Besides patience, courage etcetera etcetera i found one more thing which is as important as any other required qualities and it is "spontaneity".. let me narrate a few of my experiences which required ,as i said, "Spontaneity" ;-)

My karma/ Naa kharma- 1 :

I was driving. Thoughts...flying. It happens sometimes.. when on bike we just drive oblivious to the surroundings. We go towards the destination without our effort.We just go. That day i was in that phase of driving.

One biker was driving a few meters ahead of me . He turned his head and spat in a typical indian style "yaak..thuuu". He didnt care a damn about others (me, at that point :-( ) who were using the same road at that moment. Having found myself in such a bizarre, pathetic, helpless situation , my mind which was in some anonymous-uknown-world somehow captured his this act of "eject saliva" and immmediately took control of my phisycal body which was on bike. The physical body which got instructions from a new owner(mind) instead of me applied brakes suddenly ,slowed the bike and gave the body a never-before-twist to ward off that spit-rush.. Yahoo !!!!!! Reflex Action Performed Succesfully :-) . bratikaamuraa devudaa!!!

My karma / Naa kharma -2 :

This guy who was driving the car kept his hand out of the window and gave a tap on his lit cigarete. No prizes for guessing who was there to receive the byproduct i.e., ash. The ash found some good magnetic flux around me and it flew towards me freely,unobstructedly. One must have a very high Spontaneity Factor which usually only Ninjas possess to emerge succesfull in this kind of escaping . Like the snow on trees in kashmir,the ash settled on my face all over. If 'beautiful' is the adjective which describes the case snow-on-trees ,"Ugly" is the best fitted word for the case ash-on-my-face :-( .

My karma / Naa kharma -3

Another day... I was on my bike at 50-60 kmph speed . All of a sudden , something like an asteroid or comet flashed and I found it coming towards me. I just had to stop my bike so that it wouldnt hit me..Few seconds later ..the shock subsided ... and i looked at it. It was not an asteroid or meteoroid as i feared .It was just a squashed frooti packet . Somebody threw from a moving bus. verrrrrry goodddddd :P

Dont ask me what i thought of the flying banana peel(thrown from a bus). That should be experienced personally how you figure that peel as when it suddenly flashes before your eyes.It will give you enough experience to travel to other galaxies in the future . Buena suerte future astronauts !!! :-D

Many....who travel in cars, buses, bikes.......many do these harrowing activities.Forget about civic sense ... we dont find even common sense.

Somebody truly said .."common sense is not so common in this world"

Thats all for now folks. adios.

P.S: Dedicated to all those who faced these kind of situations :-)

New New-Year Experience

If your question is "which stupid will travel in a bus on 31st night?".. then the answer will be " Kranthi.. kranthi... kranthi"... Yes....i was travelling that night(Bang to Hyd). .I booked ticket online and my seat number was 14 which would make a point that there were 13 other bakras who topped the list(No offense meant :-) )... and when I boarded the bus i found the whole bus full :-) ... my kinda people :-)

31st night 11 45 pm . I was watching in my ipod the last scenes of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", ‘when Red finds the letter Andy kept for him under a tree’ ’when Red boards the bus to meet Andy’ 'when Red smiles looking at Andy walking on shore' again and again when somebody from the back seat went to the driver lurching in the aisle of the fast moving volvo bus.I thought he wanted a break as i saw him having tin beer when the bus stopped last time.But i was proved wrong when he went back to his friends....i overheard them( they were discussing loudly).Actually, they were planning something to welcome new year and the driver told him that if he(driver) could find some open area he would stop the vehicle. After that brief distraction , I again got myself buried in my world of ipod watching the movie.

The driver kept his word and stopped the bus exactly at 12 midnight. The guys from the back seat got down and asked all the passengers to get down. A few , including me obeyed happily and got down contemplating a new never-before-experience.A few were already snoring..I could easily see the expressions " new year? " "so whatttt?" "who cares ..?" on their sleeping faces.

I got down.....Breezy cold night.... and it was almost a full moon that night. In my patented words its like “ vennela kurustunnattu’ ;-) .The guys lit the candles ,cut the cake ,gave us slices.Looking at the candles glowing in a circle on the cake in the moonlight was beautiful. " Candle-light.In the Moon-light.Its a Delight".(shaayari???..wah wah!!! :P ) We wished each other happy new year and some took snaps in their cameras and phones.The phone which i had at that time didnt have a camera.bad luck. I could not capture any of those moments....but no problem...my heart wont allow my mind to forget that beautiful experience. A few minutes later ... we got back on to the bus... they started giving cakes to the passengers who woke up.When one girl was offered cake she said "nahi..nahin..ismey anda hotha hi" :-) .Poor girl. I wished the elderly person in sweater sitting beside me,”happy new year sir” and we shook hands.

Really a different experience. New experience. Wonderful experience. Celebrating under the sky with unknown people .Beautiful !!!! What say???
